Talking with Mr A C Swails upon his return a few days ago from the Northern markets he told us that he had found prices greatly advanced on practically all lines of goods, and that if he had not placed his orders several months ago he would have ti* ? - j* 1 a a. r a naa 10 pay an advance 01 iu 10 ou per cent and that the large firms with which he had placed his orders were not at all anxious to fill them at the prices stipulated at the time the goods were ordered. It was plainly evident that the larger dealers and manufacturers had been too conservative in their estimate of the advance in prices between the time of selling and delivering. This advance is not only on dry goods but affects nearly every line of merchandise and materials and perhaps more seriously than any other,print paper, such as The Record is printed on. We used to pay $50 per ton for it; now it costs us a round $100 and is still advancing. Mr Swails says he intends to give his customers the benefit of the low prices at which he bought his goods as long as they last. This is as it should be, though some dealers slap on the the advanced price the moment n rise in the market is noted, thereby doubling or trebling their profits. vVe wouldn't like to pay 10c a pound for sugar if we knew it had cost our grocer only 3$c, but, on the other hand, knowing that he has had to pay the advanced price, we are willing to come across without grumbling. In June we bought a ton of print paper from a firm at $90, a few weeks later another paper man came along and sold us a ton of the same paper at $70. Upon investigation we found that the $70 paper had been contracted for by the jobber before the price soared, and the manufacturer was obliged to deliver at the old price. They are all selling at the same high prices now. Dealers in other lines have doubtless had similar experiences. Death of Mr. P. F. Wolf. Mr P F Wolf, a highly respected citizen, died unexpectedly at his home on East Main street here at 11 ?_i i_ m i ? il o ciock luesuay iiiumiuik aiwrr a short illness. Mr Wolf was born in the city of Baltimore in September, 1853, and would have been 63 years old on the 17th inst had he lived until that date. In childhood he moved to Charleston and for forty years he engaged in the bakery business there. In early manhood he married Miss Prince, daughter of the late E C Prince of that city. Nine children were born of the union, eight of whom with their mother survive. The children are: Messrs J F, H W, A C and 0 P Wolf; Mrs G C Johnson, Mullins; and Mrs Florence Durant of Marion; Misses Mamie and Ruth Wolf of Kingstree. Mr Wolf came to Kingstree in February this year, and opened the bakery business which he conducted V\ia onn in tho flnnrrlin hnilflinor Willi tiiO OUti 1U lll\ VivutvttM w V.LV....Q until his death. Although his residence here was short, he and his family had won the esteem of the citizens of Kingstree. Mr Wolf was in good health until > two weeks ago. A week later he became confined to his bed. The immediate cause of death was ap-! pendicitis. The deceased was a member of J the German Lutheran church of Charleston. Funeral services were conducted at the home of the deceased at 10 o'clock yesterday morning by Archdeacon Alex R Mitchell of the Episcopal ehirch, assisted by Lay Reader Jos R Walker.
